Subject
interviewing Jack Grey/ Gradus
From
Date
Body
One more question to those who remember the life in the '50s:

> July 22-29
> Kinbote circulates in New Wye with the poem sewn into his clothes.
> He interviews Jack Grey once or twice. Grey "confesses" that he
> is Gradus, the Shadows' regicide. "A few days" after the last
> interview, Grey kills himself (n. 1000, I.).

How "realistic" is the claim of Kinbote that he could be permitted to
interview Jack Gray after arrest? He was only a university professor, not a
lawyer, and his claims imply that he had lenghty interview(s) without
witness.

Best,
